Question about Stuka Ju87 D-5 MG151/20

[FeuerFliegen]

Hello,

 

I've been wondering about the ammo count on the Ju87 D-5 with the two MG151 20mm cannons.  I have not been able to find any solid sources on the rounds per gun.

 

In War Thunder, it's 500 rounds per gun, but being that it's WT, I don't have a lot of faith in their historical accuracy; not to mention the fact that 500 20mm is a lot to store in each wing (or wherever the ammo is held).

 

Anyone know or have any sources that could tell me?

 

 

Also, somewhat off topic but still same subject - a plane like the Ju88 C-6... being that the MGFF/M is reloadable in flight with magazines, did crews ever bring more than just one extra magazine per gun?  It just seems like it wouldn't be hard at all to bring a few extra magazines and have way more 20mm ammo for ground attack.  If so, I'd love the option to bring extra ammo considering the magazines don't appear like they'd take up a ton of space.

 

Thanks for any knowledge you can provide me.
